Hey family and friends,

| Nepali kids ministry |
This month was my
last month of outreach. We traveled to Nagaland on February 7th
from Arunachal. We reached Nagaland on the 8th of February. Right
before reaching Nagaland we found out that the place where we were supposed to
stay was cancelled. So, we didn’t have a place to stay in Nagaland but the Lord
came through for us and a family of one of my students opened their home to us.
They let us stay with them for two weeks and we got to do ministry with this
family. Some of the ministries we did with this family were rehab ministry,
church ministry, house visiting, youth ministry, children ministry and school
ministry.
During the first
week in Nagaland, we got to visit a small village of Nepali people. We did
house visiting and invited the children in that village for an event that we
planned for the next day. The kids came the next day after school and we got to
do ministry with the kids. We taught songs, told stories, danced with them, had
skits and played games with them too. It was a blessed time to get to know that
village and spent two days with them. We also got to do church ministry in
another Nepali church among the youth and elderly people. We also got to
minister in a rehab. We shared testimonies and worshiped with them. We also
got to pray for each one in that rehab. We visited many more churches and did
ministry among that whole town people. The second week of our stay in Nagaland
we got to do ministry in the slum, house visiting, children ministry and youth
ministry. We were able to encourage the high school students who were going to
take the big final exams.

The last week of our outreach and
stay in Nagaland we had a week of debrief and team time. We went camping in the
mountains for three days and three nights. It was my first experience camping
out and I really enjoyed it. Although it was freezing cold and rained most of
the time we had fun. We got to do some sight -seeing, trekking, had bonfires
and singing time, cooking over fire, and sleeping in tents. We had a time of
sharing personal experiences and reconciliations. We got to encourage one
another and speak life over each other. This outreach has been very successful.
One of the things that satisfied me the most was seeing and being a part of growing
and learning together as a team. I learned a lot from each of my student and
was able to be Christ like to them. I want to give all glory to God for his favor
and grace upon my team and me. It was only because of him was my outreach a
success and a redemption from my own outreach experience. I was able to grow in
my leadership qualities and learn more on how to be like Jesus. We returned
back to base on the 7th of March. We have a week of classes and all
my students graduate this Friday; March 13th 2020.
I head home on the 15th
of March and am still praying on what to do next. I do feel like the Lord wants
me to start something in Nagaland. Dimapur in Nagaland has many villages of
Muslims and Hindus. During outreach I got to do ministry with them and I believe
I can reach out to them. I’m still praying for direction, guidance from God. I’m
very excited to go home and spend time with family and friends.

Some prayer points are:
1.
Please continue praying for my team as they head
out back into their lives and families. They would continue growing and
learning from God.
2.
Please pray for direction and guidance as I head
back home and pray for my next steps.
3.
Please pray that as I rest with family and
friends I would continue to be a blessing to them and that I would be refreshed
and renewed in Christ.
